I OWN NOTHING METION IN THIS STORY EXCEPT THE PLOT.
HELLO AGAIN, THIS IS THE BBQ CHAPTER. THIS CHAPTER IS LONGER THAN THE REST 'CAUSE I WANTED TO GET THE BBQ OUT OF THE WAY AND MAKE SPACE FOR OTHER THINGS.
ENJOY! AND SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM.
Fuck my life. As I walked away from Edward's room I didn't know what to think. Fuck him for getting me all bothered, and fuck me for actually thinking that I could pull off the act without melting into putty. When I first entered his room I only wanted to get him hard and then leaving him to take care of his little problem by himself but, I didn't count on how good he would look lying down on his bed with does big green eyes...Yeah, I should stop there before I run back into his room and finish what I started.
"Esme," I called out from the foyer. "I'm leaving to meet up with Rosalie, I'll be back later."
"Of course, sweetheart, remember that the guest will be here by a quarter to seven." Esme called from somewhere in the house.
It was weird how after just one day I felt part of the family. Carlisle was a nice, and a definite DILF. He and Esme seemed very much in love, I was glad to see how after more than a decade two people could still be so enamored with each other. I sighed, I wish one day I could have what they had. Sure I don't see it happening anytime soon but, someday.
As I neared my house, I saw Rosalie's red BMW and another car, a bright canary yellow Porsche. God, did everyone around here drive flashy cars? What the hell, I drive a fucking Ferrari, so I guess I shouldnt be talking. Next to the Porsche stood Rosalie and a little midget, from what I could see the midget was a girl with spiky raven black hair and a tutu? Oh, well to each their own, right?
"What's up?" I asked as walked over to them. I felt little arms hug me unexpectedly, the little midget was babbling away a mile a minute and into my shirt so I couldn't understand what the fuck she was saying. Midget finally let me go when Rosalie say something about not having enough time for the make over. The site in front of me was actually quite funny, the two girls were completely opposite from one another. Rosalie blonde, tall and with a somber but amused look on her face, while Midget was a black spiky haired ball of energy with the widest smile I've seen to date.
"I'm Alice Brandon! You must be Bella Swan, I can tell we are going to be great friends, omg you are so going to make this all work! And Edward will be all fixed, right? You'll fix him won't you? Of course you will, Silly. I've already seen it all. We are going to be one big happy family! And..and..." Wow, I couldn't believe how fast that girl could talk, I mean damn!
"Nice to meet you too, Alice." I said. "How about we continue this conversation inside?"
"Yeah, I think that's best," Rosalie spoke for the first time, leading the way to the house.
"No. I'm not wearing that no matter how many times you pull the puppy dog eyes, Alice." I said firmly. We had been at this 'makeover' thing almost two hours, I was ready to scream an hour and a half ago. Alice and Rosalie had insisted that I had to wax my legs even though I was wearing jeans and I had complied, they said I had to let them do my hair and I had also complied, but this was just too much. Why would I wear heels to a barbeque? Come on people, accident prone people don't wear heels of any kind not even high sandals or some shit like that.
"Come one, they're beautiful and look great with your outfit!" Alice whined and stomped her little foot.
Rosalie from the vanity smirked at me, "You know, Alice, if Bella won't wear the shoes, will just have to do her make-up to compensate."
I gave her the stink eye and she gave me her bitch brow daring me to say something on the subject. I huffed and plopped back down on my vanity stool. Alice grinned and got to work on my face. "You know I hate you both, right?" Alice just shrugged and kept on working but, of course, Rosalie couldn't keep quiet.
"You'll be thanking us soon enough," she said with a smirk firmly planted on her face. "Plus, I know Eddie will be thankful that we cleaned you up."
"Fuck you, Rose." I huffed. She and Alice had their stubborn asses planted on the idea that I would make Edward crack out of his self-inflicted pretty boy mold. Alice say she had a 'vision' of a big happy family and in her 'vision' I was wrapped up in Edward's arms. And Rosalie days that by the way we look at each other there's something going on below the surface. Even though Rose thinks I'll be good for Edward, she's still pissed off at me, because I won't tell her. Sometimes I don't get that girl at all.
"Sorry, Babe, I dont swing that way," she laughed,"and I have Emmett to scratch that itch for me." She winked and continued flipping through a magazine.
"TMI," yelled Alice, applying some kind of sticky goo on my lips. "Em, is like a brother to me."
"Whatever, I'm fucking hungry you guys," I whined."Are you almost done, Alice?"
"Et voila, mademoiselle, Bella, toi es tres jolie." Alice said in a very fake, but very good, french accent.
I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked hot, I'll admit that. They had forced me into a purple top and skinny jeans, that 'made my ass look hotter than a hot cake in July' or something like that, Rosalie's texan slang not mine. Rosalie, had straightened my hair, so it was pin straight and the make-up, courtesy of Alice, was light with pale pink eyeshadow and a melon tinted lip gloss. Finishing off the look were my trusty converse and a black leather hoodie with a few accessories.
Rosalie was in a blood red wrap around top and black skin tight jeans, while Alice was in a tight v-neck black shirt and a black skirt with layers of neon fabric underneath and knee high converse. When I asked her about this fashion statement she simply said that she felt like today was a good day to stand out.
After a few 'necessary' finishing touches, we were finally out the door and walking to the Cullen's place. The Cullens drive way was already packed and it was seven o'two, this people were too punctual for their own good.
Not bothering with the doorbell we waltzed into the house. The foyer was empty except for a few lights there wasn't much activity but you could hear noise coming from the back yard. The french doors were wide open, the large backyard was decorated beautifully well lit, there was a sitting area, and the grill was looking good, there was also a stage in the center of the yard with lights and a mic. Looks like Esme never does anything halfway. Rose spotted Emmett and Alice and me followed her, navigating ourselves around the mingling guests.
"Hello there, Little Ladies," Em said, pulling us into an Emmett size hug, "Wow, Belly, you clean up good."
I laughed, "Whatever, you know you want me."
"Get your claws off my man, bitch," Rosalie said fighting a smile. It was nice seeing her so happy with Emmett , after all I've seen her at her worst and this was great. I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"Oh, look there's Angela!" Alice said pulling me by the arm, "She's great, Bella, you two will hit it off."
"Hey, Angela! Wait up!"
Angela Webber was very nice and very pretty, she was taller than me and very thin but a healthy thin, her hair was so black it was almost blue and her hazel eyes were framed by glasses. Alice was right, Angela and I did get along great, she was sweet and was working on a eco-project in school that really got my attention, she offered me a position in the project if I was interested, and I could say no. We kept talking until Benjamin Cheney came up to us. Angela introduce me, from what I could tell Ben was a cool guy and he was head over heels in love with Angie but, didn't know how to tell her and Angie like Ben also but, was too shy to say anything. It was painful seeing then dance around each other so I excused myself and went in search of Esme and Alice.
"Hey, Angel, did it hurt when you fell from the sky?" a poor try of a 'low and husky' voice said. I just kept on walking hoping that the dude would get the hint. No such luck, I felt a clammy hand grab my arm to get me to turn around.
"What do you want?" I asked, bitch brow in place. Mr. Horrible-Pick-Up-Line was nice looking. All american, blonde, blue eyes, maybe 5,9" or 6" feet, holding on to his baby fat, and a wide smile that was borderline creepy.
"You, me, and the Ritz-Carlton." He said in such a confident manner that I was forced to choke back a laugh and keep bored look on my face.
"And who the fuck are you?" I asked to humor him, 'cause I really didn't care who the hell he was.
"I'm Michael Newton," his creepy smile back full force. "But, you Baby, get to call me Mike."
I threw up a little in my mouth and grimaced. Fucking creeper. I turned around and speed walked to the house trying to get away from Mike the creeper Newton, but I heard Newton yell, "Call me!" after me. As if, I didn't even have his phone number.
I found Esme and Alice getting drinks for the guest outside. When I told them about the encounter with Freak Newton, Alice said that I better get use to it , because Newton was denser than glue and wouldn't take a fucking hint. We worked together on getting the drinks ready, I was impressed at the variety of beverages that Esme knew how to make. They ranged from virgin piña coladas to apple martinis. Another thing that surprised me was the Cullen's underage drinking policy : it stated that you could drink two alcoholic beverages but after that it's bottled water for the rest of the night. Esme thought it was a good rule to keep us teens sober and I did also 'cause I didn't want to see a drunk Newton.
"So where's Edward?" I asked trying to sound non-chalant. Truth was I hadn't seen him outside and if I was going to up my plan in motion I needed him to be present.
"I sent him up to the third floor," said Esme arranging the drinks in several platers, "Go see what's taking him so long, I only sent him to get an extension cord for the stage."
"What's the stage for, Esme?" Alice looked up from her cocktail decoration, "Are we having a performance?"
That statement caught me attention. Was Edward going to play? Nah, from what I heard he hasn't done anything remotely musical for a long time, but I'd give anything to her him play. And I will hear him play again, soon enough.
"Sadly no, though it has been forever since I've heard the boys play," Esme said. "We're having karaoke tonight."
"Emmett plays?" I asked. I wasn't aware that Emmett played any instrument that wasn't in guitar hero or battle of the bands.
"Yep, he plays the drums," Alice said happily, "And he does and awesome drum solo."
Esme laughed and nodded in agreement. I excused myself to go looking for Edward and trotted the three flight toward the third floor. The hallway was pitch black the only thing it was missing was the creepy halloween music and it belonged in a Saw scene. Carefully I made my way down the hall, checking each door for Edward. All the rooms looked empty, some were guest room and others were closets.
I wonder if Edward will sing? I remember he was a great singer in addition to being a great musician. He really looked hot singing, I mean come on people the guy was sex on legs! Every time we went out there were always whores hanging all over him, of course, he been the gentleman he is never noticed and said I was just jealouse. Yeah right, we were never together so I never had official claim on him. Take note of the official part, but I guess I did have some sort of claim on him since we were practically super glued together. Whatever, that was ages ago will have to work on that but, I really want to have that super closeness back.
"What are you looking for?" a deep voice said from behind me, making me jump three feet in the air and let out a screech worthy of an Oscar nominee. Whirling around one hand on my chest trying to keep my heart inside my chest , my eyes I'm sure resembled Esme's finest china form the size they were when they met with a chuckling Edward.
"Fuck you, Edward," I screamed hitting him on the arm.
"What was that for?" he asked rubbing the spot I had hit. "We're even now."
Fuck him, he was right we were even now from earlier today when I snuck up on him in his room. I just narrowed my eyes and turn towards the stairs, "Esme was looking for you."
"Oh right the extension cords," he said rubbing the back of his neck, "Can you help me out?"
I smirked and motion for him to lead the way. Of course he needed help to find a cord, I thought rolling my eyes. As we entered the room my smirk fell and my eyes rolled back into place. That room was a neat mess, there were boxes everywhere from the floor up, "What the hell?"
"My thoughts exactly," Edward said kneeling on the ground,"There supposed to be in one of those boxes." he pointed to the three big boxes overflowing with cables that were in front of him.
"How do they look?" I asked dropping next to him.
"They're blue."
"No shit Sherlock." Half of the box was filled with blue cables.
"Down girl." I rolled my eyes at him, "This is what you get when you let Emmett 'put away' something."
"Ok, then anything more specific?"
"It says STG-56 on it."
Fuck my life. Turns out that half an hour later there are one hundred thirty-six cables that have 'STG-##' printed on them. We're knee deep in blue cables when my cell phone goes off. It's a text from Alice.
Where r u?
Lookin 4 the blue extension cord.
Blue?
Yeah.
Esme said it's green.
Tell Esme I'm gonna kill her son.
I'll help u hide the body ;-). Hurry up.
"You're the biggest asswipe in the history of asses!" I yell at Edward, again. After Alice's little helpful detail we found the cord right away it was one of the cords we discarded in the beginning because of the color. "You're going to make it up to me you know, right?"
"I said I was sorry," Edward said sounding a little exasperated, "I had been there over and hour, that was a little detail I was going to forget , plus blue and green are almost the same. "
"Lets have Emmett punch you in one eye and compare the color of your black eye with the color of your green eye, shall we?" I said hitting him with the back of the cord on the ass.
"Ouch," Edward said rubbing his ass through his jeans,"Didn't know you liked it rough, Love."
I rolled my eyes at him and his nickname. He somehow knew that I couldn't be mad at him when he called me that and the little bastard used it to his advantage.
"Let me like help you with that bruise, Eddie." A horrible sound said from behind us. We turned around and Edward paled. Standing behind us was a bottle blonde with hazel eyes, too much makeup and a dress that look small enough to fight a eight year-old girl.
"Lauren, glad you could make it," Edward said politely trying to hide the grimace on his face. "Let me introduce you to Bella. Bella, this is Lauren Mallory, Lauren this is Bella Swan."
Fucker. "Nice to meet you,Lauren." I said smiling sweetly. I deserved an Oscar after tonight, people. "Would you like to join us? We were just headed back to the party."
"Sure like why not? I'm sure Edward would love to like take me," Lauren said walking towards us and taking Edward's arm pulling him along with her, leaving me alone in the hallway. I shrugged and turned around.
I walked around aimlessly trying to find something to do while everyone was off mingling and shit. I personally didn't care much, it wasn't that I didn't appreciate Esme's efforts in organizing the party but I wasn't a party person. That didn't mean I hated parties I loved them. Somehow I ended up in the barbeque area where Carlisle was grillin' looking like a pro and surrounded by people waiting for their burgers and hot dogs.
"Hey there, Bella," Carlisle said waving me over, "How are you liking the party?" he wrapped me in a one armed hug.
"It's great, Esme really went all out," I complimented. It really was a nice party and everyone was having fun.
Carlisle laughed, "Yes, she is great at this sort of things." The love in his voice was evident when talking about his wife.
Someone cleared their throat behind us, it was a man probably in his mid-thirties, blonde and blued eyed, wearing khaki pants and a tucked in polo shirt like Carlisle but, somehow they looked much better on Carlisle then on this man.
"Hello, Michael," shaking the man's hand,"Bella, this is Mr. Michael Newton." I him a tight smile, so this was creep Newton's father, huh, I could see where he got the looks and the creepy smile from.
"Pleasure, Mr. Newton." I said extending my hand towards him to shake it, which he took and gave it a kiss. I tried to hide my grimace behind another tight smile, which I'm sure made me look constipated. Hell if I care, Creep Sr. was sharing his germs with me.
"Likewise, sweetheart, it is always a pleasure to meet Charles lovely daughter." Mr. I-Like-To-Share-Germs said.
"Isabella Swan is that you?" Someone said coming towards Carlisle, Creep Sr. and me. It was a petite woman with huge saltine tits and too much botox...everywhere.
"Bella, that is Giovanna Stanley, Jessica's mom," Carlisle said hiding a grimace of his on as the woman approached us.
"Hello, Carlisle," Giovanna purred. "How have you been." she leaned in to show off her fake cleavage. I could tell it was making Carlisle uncomfortable and Creeper Sr. hard in the nether regions.
"I'm Bella Swan," I said, thrusting my hand at her to get her to stop drooling all over Carlisle, " It's a pleasure ."
Giovanna gave me a look, that if looks could kill would've sent me three feet under and plastered a tight smile on her already too-tight-to-show-expression of a face. "Of course it is. You've grown, you actually have a nice face but, if you want I could give to you the number of the plastic surgeon that made my little Jessica's nose."
I was getting pissed off at the poster face for plastic surgery addiction, feeling this Carlisle tried to make small talk between Mr. Newton and Mrs. Stanley, while I went to find the vodka shots. I was all ready downing my second shot when my cell phone went off again. This time it was Emmett.
R u drunk?
Maybe, why?
Karaoke in 5, meet us backstage.
Now?
Yeah, bring vodka and water bottles.
Liquid courage?
Nah, just funner that way
I rolled my eyes, throwing my second vodka shot back, sometimes I wonder why I go along with crazy things like these. Grabbing a bottle of vodka and a couple of water bottles I make my way towards 'backstage'.
Emmett, Rosalie, and Alice are already there with Edward, who is already looking pissed off, and Ben and Angela.
"Sup guys?" I said, throwing the vodka bottle towards Em and handing everyone a bottle of water.
"What's up your ass, Edward?" I asked while everyone else was picking the songs they were going to sing.
"Mallory." he said. I laughed at him.
"Mallory is up you ass?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "How did she fit?"
He starts chuckling and I joined him, "Have you been drinking, Bella?"
"Yep," I said popping the 'p' at the end. Maybe drinking straight vodka wasn't my best idea ever but, nothing I could do about it now. Edward gave me his water bottle, and told me to drink up.
"Ok, everyone, listen up," Emmett said, "We are going to pick who goes first from this hat." In his hand he had a magician's top hat, he stuck his hand into it and brought out a little slip on paper. "And the first victim of the night is..." he trailed off until Rose hit him upside the head. "Bella Swan! Belly what are you singing for your first song of the night?"
I really didn't know what I was going to sing, that is until I saw Newton standing front and center wanting for the show to start. "Can Alice help me?" I asked Emmett since he was the one coordinating the whole thing.
"Sure, if Alice wants to I don't see why not." He said turning to Alice for confirmation. Way ahead of Emmett, Alice was already handing me a headset. Hers pink and glitter and mine a simple black one.
I whispered the name of the song to Ben who was incharge of the music and signaled Edward to dim the lights so Alice and I could get up on stage.
"This song is dedicated to Mike Newton," Alice said, as the intro to the song started and she counted me in.
Why am I always HIT ON BY THE BOYS I NEVER LIKE?
I can always SEE 'EM coming from the left and from the right
I looked at Mike and winked, laughing at the imitation on a fish his face made. And hip check Alice for her to continue with the next part of the song.
I DON'T wanna be a priss, I'm JUST trying to be polite,
But it always seems to bite me in the-
Alice was a pro on stage, dancing with me,hitting every note perfectly and asking the crowded that had formed around the stage to help us with the chorus.
Ask me for my number, yeah you put me on the spot
You think that we should hook up, but I think that we should not
The light were going crazy and so was the crowd, I was so pumped up I almost regretted not performing any more but I let that thought fly away as I began to sing again.
You had me at hello, THEN you opened up your mouth
And THAT IS when it started going south
OH!
The gang had moved from backstage to see us perform and joined the chorus. Mike had started backing away and people blocked his way so he wouldn't miss the show in his honor.
Get your hands off my hips
Or I'LL punch you in the lips
Stop your STARIN' at my (Hey!)
Take a hint, take a hint
No you CAN'T buy me a drink
Let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
T-take a hint, take a hint
I Alice had started doing cartwheels on stage and flips, she was like a little ball of energy bouncing off the walls. As I started singing the next part of the song I started jumping on the stage with Alice while fog came out making it look like a concert more than karaoke. But like I said before the Cullens never do anything half way.
I guess you still DON'T get it, so lets take it from the top
You ASKED me what my sign is, and I told you it was stop
And If I had a dime for every name THAT you just dropped
You'd be here and I'd be on a YACHT
oh!
By now everyone was standing around the stage jumping up and down with us. The energy around us was amazing, it was like an electric buzz that kept you going.
Get your hands off my hips
OR I'LL PUNCH YOU in the lips
Stop your STARIN' at my (hey!)
Take a hint, take a hint
No you CAN'T buy me a drink
Let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
T-take a hint, take a hint
What about "NO" don't you get?
So go and tell your friends
I'm not really interested
Alice took over while I continued dancing next to her.
IT'S about time THAT YOU'RE leaving
I'M gonna count to three and
Open my eyes and you'll be gone
I was absolutely ecstatic with the adrenaline pulsing through my veins and the crowd was amazing.
One, get your hands of my-
Two, or I'll punch you in the-
Three, stop your STARIN' at my- (hey!)
TAKE a hint, take a hint
As the song started winding down so did Alice and I. We met up at the center stage and finished the song leaning against one another back-to-back. We were both panting for air and a little sweaty but we had huge smiles on our faces, as the crowd clapped and hollered.
I AM not your missing link
Let me tell you what I think
I think you COULD use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
TAKE A HINT, TAKE A HINT
Whoa!
Get your hands off my hips
Or I'LL punch you in the lips
Stop your STARIN' at my (hey!)
Take a hint, take a hint
T-Take a hint, take a hint
"No hard Feelings, Mikey," I said looking out toward the crowd, now that the adrenaline was wearing off I could see the excited faces of the gang and a proud looking Esme and Carlisle with a camcorder and a digital camera smiling from ear to ear. "Thanks guys." I hugged Alice and we walked off stage.
Once down we were greeted by a bear hug from Emmett before he jumped up onto stage to present the next person, who was Ben singing Sugar we're goin down by Fall Out Boy.
"Nice job girls," Ben said before jumping on stage, "Hope Mike gets the hint."
"OMG! That was amazing we were amazing!" Alice said hugging me, "We have to do that again but, not now I have to go check my make-up and you should do the same after you get you congrats hug from you know who!" She winked and skipped away. I chuckled, how could one person have so much energy? I was beat from that little performance.
"Bella!" yelled Rosalie waving me over to where she was standing with Angela. I made my way to them accepting congratulatory hugs from different people. I was almost to Rose and Angie when Mike 'the creeper' Newton stopped me.
"Thanks for the song, Babe," he said with a wink, "Here's my card, call me." he handed me a business card with his name, number, and address and walked away. I simply dropped the card and kept on walking towards Rose.
"I love the song," Angela said with a smile," but something tells me that Mike didn't 'take a hint'" We laughed at her play with words, I told her what Newton had stopped me for and how he had given me his 'card'. Rose said he was a douche for not getting the message across his thick skull and Angie said he would move on eventually, because he is known for his short attention span.
Ben dedicated his song to Angie and we all went to hear him sing, he was pretty good. Poor Angela was blushing the whole time, while Rose and I 'aww'. As he finished the song Angela ran backstage to thank him and left rose and me trailing behind her.
Once again we were all backstage picking who would go next. Emmett was pulling out papers from his top hat to make a list in order to be more organized, this was Rosalie's idea, of course, 'cause Em wanted the 'element of surprise'. As I watched Em and Rose fighting over the hat, I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist and a kiss on the top of my head.
"You were great out there," Edward whispered into my ear sending shivers down my spine, "Almost made me miss performing."
"Almost being the key word?" I asked turning around in his arms.
"Exactly, though with piano concertos, we don't have a smoke machine or multi-color lights," He said rubbing his nose against mine in and Eskimo kiss, "Do we?"
I laughed, "No, I guess we don't. Are you going to sing?"
"Maybe," he shrugged, "Well, better get back to work Emmett's up."
"Promise me you'll sing," I asked before unwrapping myself from his arms. When he looked indecisive I pulled out the pouty lip and the puppy eyes. "Please, Love." I knew he couldn't say no to me when I used that combination.
He nodded, before turning around and dimming the lights for Emmett. I joined Alice, Rose and Angie at the front of the stage to see Emmett perform his song. He kept it a secret until the last moment and made Edward and Ben promise not to tell us. The distinctive intro for I'm Sexy and I Know It, blared through the speakers,the smoke machine turned on, and Em jumped out wearing only a leopard print speedo, a feather scarf, pink sunglasses, and a afro wig, thrusting and doing some type of egyptian dance.
This is how I roll, animal print, pants outta control,
It's Red-Fu with the big ass fro
And like Bruce Leroy I got the glow
Ah... Girl look at that body
Ah... I work out
Ah... Girl look at that body
I work out
Edward and Ben appeared from backstage and started throwing beach balls, crazy sunglasses, and balloon animals. Once Emmett started the next part of the song, streamers exploded from the sides of the stage.
Yeah
When I'm at the mall, security just can't fight them off
And when I'm at the beach, I'm in a Speedo trying to tan my cheeks (what)
This is how I roll, come on ladies it's time to go
We headed to the bar, baby don't be nervous
No shoes, no shirt, and I still get serviced (watch)
Ah... Girl look at that body
Ah... I work out
Ah... Girl look at that body
I work out
Everyone was cheering Emmett on and singing along with him. I turned to look at Rose and found her laughing along with us at Em's antics.
When I walk in the spot (yeah), this is what I see (ok)
Everybody stops and they staring at me
I got passion in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it, show it, show it, show it
I'm sexy and I know it
I'm sexy and I know it...
We all wiggled and thrusted along with Emmett. It was a lot of fun and I could see that near the back Creeper Sr. was also laying down the moves for his fellow expectators, not looking quite and fly as Emmett but, cool enough for an old guy.
Check it out
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle yeah
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle yeah, yeah
Do the wiggle man
I do the wiggle man
Yeah
I'm sexy and I know it
The lights dimmed again when the song ended and Alice,Rose, Angi and I ran backstage to meet up with Emmett.
"Dude, that was awesome!" I yelled hugging Emmett.
"Thanks, Belly," Emmett said ruffling my hair. "What did you think, Pixie?"
Alice jumped and hugged Emmett, "That was great! I abso-fucking-lutely loved it! And your scarf you have to let me borrow your scarf!" Emmett laughed and handed Alice the scarf.
"I loved it, you big teddy bear." Rosalie said giving him a big kiss. "Lets go warm up. Don't Disturb us." They walked away hand in hand to god knows where but, I wasn't looking to find out.
"So, who is up next!" Alice said looking at the paper, "It's you, Edward! What are you going to sing?"
I looked at Edward, who looked lie he wanted to back out,"You promised, Edward, remember?" I pouted.
"Yeah I remember," He said grabbing a bottle the bottle of vodka I brought earlier and downed a few gulps, "I prefer not being completely sober before I do this. Ben, pop this in."
"You'll do great, Edward." I said smiling.
"The things I do for you, Love." he sighed before going up the stairs to the stage.
"Come on, let's get a good spot," Angela said, "Everyone will want to hear Edward, it's been forever."
My nerves were on end, I was super excited. I couldn't believe he was actually doing this, my cheeks were going to hurt tomorrow from all this smiling. The light are dim, not at all how they were for the other songs, there's only a mic stand and a stool on center stage. When the beginning notes of Sunday Morning by Maroon 5, the murmurs and whispers fell silent and everyones attention is on Edward's silhouette that's becoming more visible as the some of the lights turn on leaving the stage dim but, still light enough to see him.
Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
Fuck me sideways into next Tuesday, his voice was rough but, somehow is soft as velvet. Sitting on stage in his black jeans and v-neck, long-sleeve, black tee-shirt he manage to look like sex, and that beuatiful disvalege bronze head of hair was not helping my panties, or any panties in a 5-mile radius.
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you
Fuck. He was looking at me, his green eyes so bright you could see them shining with a mix of excitement, happiness, and uncertainty. Yeah, he was enjoying every minute of this even if he'll try to deny it once he gets off the stage, I know he is. I sent him a small grin and two thumbs up he responds with a full on smirk and a little shake of his head.
That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather, still together when it ends
All the hussies screamed like the lyrics are for them, like I said hussies. It's not like the song is for me but, I made him get up on that stage some credit is due, right? Nah, this is all him but, that has to be our dirty little secret we can't have his ego grow any bigger or will have to send a jet to pick him up for school in the morning.
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning, rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing, "Someday it'll bring me back to you."
Find a way to bring myself back home to you.
As he finishes of the song I chance a look at the audience and find myself with the glowing faces of Esme and Carlisle still with their cameras. Esme catches my eyes and mouths 'thank you' I just smile and turn around heading back stage to say a very smug 'I told you so' to Edward.
"Looks like I was right yet again," I boast wrapping my arms around Edwards waist, "You loved every minute of it."
"Yeah, it was pretty good," he complies, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my forehead,"But if anyone asks, I'll deny it."
I shrug,"Good enough for me." And snuggle into his chest, for someone who has muscles in all the right places he still is very comfortable and I very sleepy right now.
"Hey," he whispers on my ear, "Want to know who's the last performance of the night?"
"Who?" I ask eager to know, yeah, I'm a nosy person. Don't judge.
"Ms. Rosalie Hale," he whispers as if it was a secret, "Guess what she's singing." he wraps one arm around my shoulders, leading me towards the music controls, he takes a disc from the pile and hands it to me. The disc has a name scribbled on top in red permanent marker, I try to read it in the low lighting we have backstage and my mouth drop open when I finally decipher the writing.
"Bitch by Meredith Brooks," I say surprise lacing my words, "She is really going all out, isn't she?"
"That's our Rose right there," he says with a smirk. "Do you think she'll pull it off?"
"Hell yes," I say grinning from ear to ear, "Most of the adult guest are drunk half way to Texas by now, and I just saw Mrs. Stanley dry humping Mr. Newton."
"Great, then this will be a great way to finish up the night," he says placing the disc back in place, "Ben and I didn't know if we were going to be able to play that song without getting shut down." I nod in agreement.
"So, show me how this thing works," I say motioning the light controls, "I've been dying to know how this works all night."
After about thirty minutes it was clear I sucked ass at managing the light controller thingy. O somehow managed to turn all the backyard's lights while trying to change the backdrop from blue to pink. Let's just say not my brightest moment. Finally I was saved of my total failure went Rosalie came backstage and said she was ready to close-up the night and go the hell home, because she needed her beauty sleep if she was going to face the bitches at school tomorrow.
"Don't laugh at me if I don't hit every note right," Rosalie said looking at Edward and me before getting up on stage, "not everyone was trained in one of the most prestigious music school in the world."
Edward and I just rolled our eyes at her and told her to get on the damn stage already. Emmett, Alice, Ben, Angela, Edward and I stayed backstage on Rose's request because she said she didn't want to see our faces when she sang. Sure, she could cuss out a drop of water for being wet and make a sailor blush but, she couldn't sing infront of us.
The starting notes of the song came out from the speakers and the light focused in on Rose.
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one
We all chuckled at the truth behind the lyrics of the song. And Alice and I sang the chorus with her.
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
Rosalie was perfect hitting every note right I didn't know why she was so worried of not doing great but, I guess that everyone has their quirks.
So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
We all cheered as Rosalie sang. this was really the perfect song for her it described her perfectly and not at all at the same time. She was this and a lot more you just had get through the layers.
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
Rose finished the song and we all ran on stage to hug her and congratulate her on her awesome performance. Esme and Carlisle also got on stage and congratulate us all on our makeshift concert. Esme of course wanted to get the moment on film and made us all pose for a picture and as the camera flash went off, I felt like I had finally found home. now the only thing missing was Jazz.
